With the aid of my effects box, the Kramer Ferrington allows me to play anything from folk acoustic, to metal and everything in between. I have no plans or need to buy a different guitar.

It seemed to have suffered some abuse from the first owner(s?), but still stands strong, plays well, and looks great. The instrument seems to be very well constructed. It is perfect for my sound, style and needs.
